MIDLAND CITY, Ala. — Speaking into a 4-inch-wide ventilation pipe, hostage negotiators tried Thursday to talk a man into releasing a kindergartener and ending a standoff in an underground bunker that stretched into its third day.
Law enforcement personnel work at check point Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2013, in Midland City, Ala., near the home where the Tuesday's school bus shooting suspect is barricaded in a bunker with a young child as hostage. Police, SWAT teams and negotiators were at a rural property where a man was believed to be holed up in a homemade bunker Wednesday after fatally shooting the driver of a school bus and fleeing with a 6-year-old child passenger, authorities said.

The man identified by multiple neighbors and witnesses as 65-year-old retired truck driver Jimmy Lee Dykes was accused of pulling the boy from a school bus on Tuesday and killing the driver. The pair was holed up in a small room on his property that authorities compared to tornado shelters common in the area.
James Arrington, police chief of the neighboring town of Pinckard, said the shelter was about 4 feet underground, with about 6-by-8 feet of floor space and a PVC pipe that negotiators were speaking through.
There were signs that the standoff could continue for some time: A state legislator said the shelter has electricity, food and TV. The police chief said the captor has been sleeping and told negotiators that he has spent long periods in the shelter before.
"He will have to give up sooner or later because (authorities) are not leaving," Arrington said. "It's pretty small, but he's been known to stay in there eight days."
Midland City Mayor Virgil Skipper said he has been briefed by law enforcement and visited with the boy's parents.
"He's crying for his parents," he said. "They are holding up good. They are praying and asking all of us to pray with them."
Republican Rep. Steve Clouse, who represents the Midland City area, said he visited the boy's mother Thursday and that she is "hanging on by a thread."
"Everybody is praying with her for the boy," he said.
Clouse said the mother told him that the boy has Asperger's syndrome, an autism-like disorder, as well as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Police have been delivering medication to him through the pipe, he said.
The normally quiet red clay road leading to the bunker was teeming Thursday with more than a dozen police cars and trucks, a fire truck, a helicopter, officers from multiple agencies, news media and at least one ambulance near Midland City, population 2,300.
As night fell and temperatures dipped into the low 40s, police and other emergency workers wore heavy coats outside a small church being used as a command post. Neighbors said Dykes had a small heater in the bunker.
Overhead, a small aircraft with blinking lights flew wide circles high above the man's property. An ambulance remained parked on the side of the dirt road leading to Dykes' home.
Dykes was known around the neighborhood as a menacing figure who neighbors said once beat a dog to death with a lead pipe, threatened to shoot children for setting foot on his property and patrolled his yard at night with a flashlight and a firearm.
The chief confirmed that Dykes held anti-government views, as described by multiple neighbors: "He's against the government — starting with Obama on down."
"He doesn't like law enforcement or the government telling him what to do," he said. "He's just a loner."
Authorities say the gunman boarded a stopped school bus Tuesday afternoon and demanded two boys between 6 and 8 years old. When the driver tried to block his way, the gunman shot him several times and took a 5-year-old boy off the bus.
The bus driver, Charles Albert Poland Jr., 66, was hailed by locals as a hero who gave his life to protect the 21 students aboard the bus.

Goodrich Corp. (GR: Quote) said it expects to incur a one-time charge against its first quarter 2010 results of approximately $10 million, or $0.08 per share, due to the recently-passed U.S. health care reform legislation.
The expected charge relates to the elimination of tax deductions available to companies that provide prescription drug coverage to retirees. The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 (MMA) expanded Medicare to include prescription drug coverage through a plan known as Medicare Part D. Under the MMA, employers that provide prescription drug coverage to retirees that equals or exceeds the benefit provided under Medicare Part D are entitled to a subsidy of 28% of the cost of the coverage.

Lacking Liaison
LGBT activists decry de-emphasis of MPD's gay liaison unit, lack of transgender inclusion in tracking hate crimes
by Yusef Najafi
Published on November 26, 2009, 3:20am | Comments
Little more than two years ago, Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Chief Cathy Lanier sat with members of the local LGBT community and promised that the force's award-winning Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit (GLLU) would not shrink or disband under her leadership.
At that summer 2007 meeting, Lanier said she intended to expand the unit's services by training officers from all seven police districts to respond to calls that the centralized GLLU in Dupont Circle would normally handle.
Yet two years later the GLLU has gone from a full-time sergeant and seven officers, to two officers and a part-time sergeant. Sgt. Carlos Mejia, who also heads the Latino Liaison Unit, now heads the GLLU. MPD's special liaison units (SLU) also include the Asian Liaison Unit and the Deaf/Hard of Hearing Liaison Unit.
Local activist Peter Rosenstein was one of 10 witnesses addressing concerns about the special liaison units before the D.C. City Council's Committee on Public Safety and the Judiciary on Friday, Nov. 20.
Rosenstein pointed out that while 57 officers have signed-up for a four-day SLU training at the end of this month, it will be the first such training since Lanier's pledge two years ago. Of those 57, 23 will specialize in the GLLU. With this training, those officers will be able to field GLLU calls in addition to their regular assignments, rather than becoming full-time GLLU officers.
''They are flying by the seat of their pants in an effort to put something together, and meanwhile the GLBT community is losing all faith in the MPD,'' he said.
Part of Lanier's promise to the local LGBT community was to include community representatives in crafting the training seminar. Rosenstein testified that the community was not involved, saying that while training is set to run from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3, the community has yet ''to see what they're actually being trained on.''
Councilmember Phil Mendelson (D-At Large), who chairs the committee, was the only councilmember on the bench for the entirety of the approximately five-hour hearing. He was joined briefly by Councilmember Michael Brown (I-At Large).
In his exchange with Lanier, Mendelson asked her about GLLU's downsizing, as well as another change to the unit: The sergeant in charge of the unit once reported to the chief directly, but in a Nov. 19 letter to Mendelson, Lanier presented a diagram that introduces several layers of administration between heads of liaison units and the chief.
Lanier defended the additional administration, saying, ''If I want to effectively expand this to all seven districts, there has to be adequate management and supervision."
When asked by Mendelson about GLLU's downsizing, Lanier said Lt. Brett Parson, a popular member of the GLBT community and former head of both the GLLU and the SLU, asked to return to street patrolling. Further, one GLLU officer was promoted, another was placed on administrative leave, and one was fired. Lanier added that it's difficult to recruit for the unit.
''The last time I announced the position for a sergeant [for the GLLU], I got one applicant,'' she said. ''It is very hard to get officers in specialized units.''
Beyond the GLLU specifically, other areas addressed Friday included the September 2008 homicide of a gay man, Tony Randolph Hunter, and the handling of that case by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia; and Mayor Adrian Fenty's Bias-related Crime Report, dated Nov. 19, which states that in 2008 anti-LGBT hate crimes increased 15 percent from the previous year.
''[The report] contains a glaring omission that severely undercuts the credibility of the rest of the report,'' Rick Rosendall, of the Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance (GLAA), said in his testimony. ''While the word 'transgender' appears several times in descriptions of the GLBT community, and 'gender identity or expression' is included among the protected categories, 'gender identity or expression' is not included as a 'type of bias' in the table of hate crimes. … To learn that our own police are not even tracking anti-transgender hate crimes as such is mind-boggling.''
Chris Farris, co-chair of Gays and Lesbians Opposing Violence (GLOV), told the committee that GLOV has received numerous reports that calls to the GLLU have not been responded to. He added that since Parson's departure as head of the liaison units in mid-September, he no longer receives regular reports from the GLLU.
''Several officers have told me that they have been instructed to stop sharing data with us,'' Farris said.
Lanier said that she would ask for an investigation into that claim.

By Tom Junod
I needn't have worried. The Wagyu was beef, all right. It didn't taste like ahi; nor did it taste like foie gras, which is another of its advertised equivalencies. The problem was that it didn't taste like steak, either. It didn't taste like the familiar thing we know of as steak. Well, the skirt steak did, more or less; it was delicious, though so tender -- so buttery -- that it tasted somehow softened, like an overripe plum. The porterhouse, though, packed a wallop like a French whore's armpit. It delivered a blast of intimacy -- with the cow, and with the process by which the cow was delivered to the table -- that was, to say the least, unwelcome. I kept looking around at my fellow diners like the emperor trying on his new clothes. I wanted to say, right away, Hey, do you guys actually like this? Instead I watched them eat. I watched the porterhouse disappear, engulfed not only by appetite but by the expectation of appetite. For my brother and my friend Vince's girlfriend, eating the Wagyu started as an indulgence, then lightened into a kind of meat snack. They polished off slice after slice of wine-dark porterhouse. For me and for Vince, it was the other way around. We were instantly sated. I caught his eye across the table, and his eyes were rolling, like those of a man pushing incalculable weight. Finally, he said, "This is intense," which my eager ears took to mean: This tastes like death itself. And it did. The Wagyu owed its density to the density of death itself. A dozen years ago, I'd gotten a taste of the slaughterhouse and had worked ever since to free myself of that mortal tang, cheap cut by cheap cut, steak by undistinguished steak. Now I was eating steak that cost $130 a pound, and instead of being steak that transcended the slaughterhouse, it functioned as a slaughterhouse madeleine. Indeed, as I ate the Wagyu, I did something I hadn't done since the slaughterhouse, at least not in response to the reality of beef. I remembered what I was eating, in the most visceral way. And I gagged.
I made a decision to continue eating beef after going to the slaughterhouse. It was a decision that I felt I'd earned the right to make, after taking full measure of the abyss -- an existential decision of sorts, because I was no longer consuming beef passively, out of ignorance, but rather actively, in the face of awful enlightenment. There was nothing the most militant vegetarian could tell me that I didn't already know. There was no vein of disgust that I hadn't already tapped and tasted. I was choosing to eat beef, in part, to triumph over disgust, not to mention sympathy and scruple. I was choosing to eat beef as a hungry American, in affirmation of both my appetite and of America in general. By choosing the death of the cow -- sorry, the cows; the vast, bellowing multitudes of cows -- I was choosing life, or at least the life I knew, the carnivorous one, the supermarket one, the democratic one. Sure, I liked how cow tasted. But in the end I chose to keep eating dead cows because I believed I'd earned the right to exercise the right -- the American right -- to keep tasting them.
Do we have the right to eat Wagyu? A lot of things have changed in a dozen years, after all. The American awareness has changed. We're aware of our limitations as no Americans have been since the Great Depression, and we're also aware of our inability to stop trying to transcend them. We were the country that never turned around to see the frowns on the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for us; now the frowns are all we see, and yet we are helpless to get up and walk away from the show. We know damn well that beef is a grotesquerie, and that its production, in factory feedlots and pitiless slaughterhouses, is an evil. We know that it is wasteful in terms of resources, promiscuous in terms of carbon footprint, and insulting to our self-image as citizens of a sustainable planet. We know this and we respond with...Wagyu! We respond by going superprime in the age of subprime. We respond with the Hummer of beef, the hedge fund of beef, the foie gras of beef, whose taste made me feel as force-fed as the unfortunate geese who donate their livers to our tasting menus. We respond with beef that costs ten times or twenty times as much as mass-market beef, so that we can eat something that tastes uncomfortably of, well, beef. Do we have the right to eat Wagyu? Of course we have the right to eat Wagyu. We are trapped by our right to eat Wagyu. We will continue eating Wagyu until there is no more Wagyu, unless we find the courage to renounce Wagyu. Do we, as a society, have the political will to renounce Wagyu? I do. I renounce Wagyu. It would be a different story if I liked Wagyu, if the taste of Wagyu didn't make me want to hurl, just as it would be a different story if I actually owned a Hummer. But I don't. I renounce the obvious extremity so I can still, somehow, embrace the ingrained extremity of American life. I renounce the Hummer so I can go on driving my BMW station wagon. And I renounce Wagyu, so that I can forget the slaughterhouse once and for all, and go back to eating steak.

If you observe Lent, then you know that today is Fat Tuesday, or the last day to indulge before Lent begins on Wednesday.
Ash Wednesday is the beginning of 40 days of fasting, or the very least, giving up sweets until Easter.
The little time left—called Mardi Gras, Carnival, Carnevale or Fasnacht in parts of the world—will be celebrated with partying and indulgence until the last second of Fat Tuesday.
A Polish tradition is to celebrate the last six days of Carnival, known as zapusty, beginning on Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek) when pączki (fried doughnuts) are eaten. In America, pączki can be found in bakeries on Fat Tuesday or Pączki Day, Feb. 12.
Here's where you can find pączki near Novi:
- Meijer
- Busch's
- Hiller's
- Kroger
- Just Baked in Twelve Oaks Mall
Readers also recommended Heritage Bakery on Five Mile and Newburgh in Livonia and Paris Bakery on Joy Road in Livonia.
About Pączki
The pronunciation varies. Some say POHNCH-kee; Americans generally say POONCH-kee. Singular is pączek, pronounced POHNCH-ek. Whichever way you say it, the bakery sales clerk will understand what you want.
The baking and consumption of paczki began as a practical matter. Pączki were made as a way to use up the lard and eggs which were prohibited during the ancient observance of Lent. Now, they're more of a last-minute binge on sweets before the sacrifice begins.
Pączki is Polish for "little package." And what sweet packages they are.
According to tastingpoland.com, paczki are round spongy yeast cakes, rich in egg yolks and stuffed with one of many fillings like: rose or strawberry preserves, prune, apricot, liqueur, budyn (Polish pudding/blancmange), sweet curd cheese or chocolate. The dough is deep fried like a doughnut in deep oil until dark golden color and served covered with powdered sugar, icing sugar or chocolate. Also, oftentimes it is sprinkled with orange peel. Paczki, among the most traditional Polish desserts, they appeared in Poland during the time of King Augustus III of Poland (first half of 18th century). For a recipe, click here.

Eh. For a while I thought this was over for good. Glad to see you back up and at it, Tetsu!... The best thing about PB is still your whole "SCREW THE PLOT" way of doing things. *3*

TELLURIDE – With the real estate and development industries the town relied upon for jobs and revenue in the post-mining era now unreliable sources of both, a new Telluride Film Commission plans to target the film industry in hopes of generating a more sustainable local economy.
"We're going to do everything we possibly can to bring commercials, catalog shoots and even film here to Telluride," said Telluride Town Councilmember Thom Carnevale, who announced the launch of the TFC's new website (funded by $1,800 in private donations) when council met last week.
Carnevale got the idea to formalize the town's outreach to film productions as council made round after round of cuts to the 2009 budget because of multi-million dollar revenue shortfalls.
"We did many years back have a fairly thriving number of commercial companies that came here; we were really on track," he said. "We would like to see it come back on the radar screen."
To that end, Carnevale contacted locals Tim Territo, who founded Telluride On Site Productions in 2003 offering location, casting and production services, and production coordinator Ted Wilson.
"I've known what kind of money it can bring in," said Territo who has over 20 years of experience as a location scout and assistant director.
Wilson estimated that a small, one-day commercial shoot utilizing a crew of about 20 people alone could bring about $75,000 into the town.
"There is so much potential for local revenue," he said.
Together they approached Telluride Tourism Board Chief Executive Officer Scott McQuade, and the TFC was born.
Although the TFC operates under the TTB to maximize marketing opportunities, it is funded entirely through private donations.
Luring a film production to a location, "can be enormously productive for a resort community," said McQuade, explaining that the benefits are both short and long term.
Not only do production teams spend money in hotels, restaurants and shops while on location, but the appearance of a location on-screen can breed familiarity and recognition.
"That kind of PR value and exposure would cost millions to buy," he said. "It can provide greater impact than most marketers can dream of."
According to a fact sheet prepared by the Colorado Film Commission prior to the passage of House Bill 09-1010 signed by Gov. Bill Ritter in June, actor Sean Penn's 2007 adaptation of "Into the Wild" boosted tourism to Alaska by over 100 percent while director Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy increased travel to New Zealand by 34 percent.
Commercials, photo shoots and feature film productions are not alien to Telluride and the region, where British Vogue, Eddie Bauer and Macy's have done photo shoots, Budweiser, Chevrolet and Visa have filmed commercials, and movies from True Grit in 1969 to The Prestige in 2006 have shot scenes. The 1998 film Scrapple was filmed about and shot entirely in Telluride
While the commission bears the name Telluride, its mission is to promote the region to the film industry as an affordable, accessible site for on location filming.
To that end, if it can find the funding it plans to attend the Association of Film Commissioners International locations trade show in Santa Monica next April with the Colorado Film Commission. There, the TFC will have an opportunity to sell producers and other decision makers on all the region has to offer.
"We want to get the word out there that we want to shoot here in Telluride, that it's easy for them to shoot and there are a lot of skilled people here to work," said Territo.
"The goal is to be welcoming to the film industry," said Town Manager Frank Bell, who has been involved in the establishment of the commission.
Bell said that the town could help achieve that goal through means such as streamlining its permitting process and by using public resources to close streets for filming – not unlike what it does for festivals and other events – for example.
The TFC's efforts dovetail with those being made by the state, which re-established the Colorado Office of Film, Television and Media and provided tax incentives to attract and grow film production throughout the state when it passed H.B. 2010 last summer.
"The state is key in all of this too," said McQuade.
But so, too, is the community, which in the past has met the film industry with mixed response.
"It will take the community to help make it work," said McQuade.
Still, the commission is hopeful that its efforts will go far.
"I think it could bring in several millions of dollars into the community, and during good times even more," said Carnevale.
To make a tax-deductible contribution to the Telluride Film Commission, send a check, payable to the Telluride Tourism Board, to PO Box TK, Telluride, CO 81435, and earmark it TFC.

This is not simple... given more than 655 million sites, billions of social conversations and the speed with which consumer interests and passion points evolve. The questions of what content to develop, what supporting content already exists, and how to activate that content within marketing and promotion efforts to best effect loom large.
Kontera solves this challenge. We put brands' owned content, social content, and any supportive content from across the digital eco-system to work on behalf of brands.

Carr retires after three decades of helping Kane vets
By Matt Brennan For The Beacon-News February 27, 2013 2:34PM
John Carr of Batavia is retiring after years as head of the Kane County Veterans Assistance Commission. Carr was instrumental in the creation of the Kane County Veterans Memorial, which is at the County Government Center in Geneva. | Sun-Times Media File

Updated: April 1, 2013 7:34AM
For 35 years, John Carr has led the charge in Kane County, securing help for local residents who have served in the U.S. military, and their families.
Carr, the first Vietnam veteran to serve as a veteran's assistance commission superintendent in Illinois, will be retiring from his post this week.
He has valued his time in the position, he said.
"Veterans are a very unique population, who have made many sacrifices on behalf of their country," he said. "The military is not an easy profession."
The commission provides services and financial aid to local veterans, and works closely with the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the American Legion and other local veteran groups.
They answer questions from local veterans, help them apply for any services and benefits they may require, and provide non-emergency transportation to and from the Hines VA Medical Center near Maywood.
The Kane County commission has existed since 1935, and Carr is the fourth superintendent.
Though he declined to cite any specific cases through his decades of experience, he said he enjoyed helping those who have given so much and needed the assistance.
"I loved coming into the office and having a new challenge every day," he said.
Under Carr's tenure, Kane County built a Veteran's Memorial on the grounds of the county Government Center in Geneva in November of 2004. The memorial contains 855 names of local veterans who gave their lives during the Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War and the Persian Gulf War.
The memorial is inscribed with the quote "Freedom is not free. It must be earned and preserved each succeeding generation."
Carr is a Vietnam veteran himself. He is the recipient of the Combat Infantry Badge, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, the Air Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, the Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal, Vietnam Gallantry Cross, Republic of Vietnam Civil Action Honor Medal, and the First Class Unit Citation Badge.
He was drafted to serve in the Army in 1969. When his tenure in the military ended, he began worked as a hospital driver, joined the Kane veterans commission in 1974 and became its superintendent in 1977.
"I enjoy being able to work with clients one-on-one," he said. "I enjoy the direct service to them, and making a difference in their lives."
The County Board gave Carr a standing ovation at its February meeting, acknowledging his lifetime of service to veterans.

Northern senior outside hitter Kalli Herron had 11 kills and senior middle hitter Sarah Hamilton 10 as they made just one error between them. Herron also had a team-high three block assists while adding a service ace and dig. Senior outside hitter Lina Lopes added a Wildcat-best nine digs as senior setter Kellisha Harley had 32 assists.

I have been working at SYKES part-time for less than a year
Pros – ability to work at home
Cons – Ineffective training that was too short and did not prepare us for work; trainers and floor support representatives who talked condescendingly to us, too much focus on one main "resource of information" when this resource is incomplete and not tailored for the types of calls that we get; imbalance of support reps to agents; insensitivity to needs of agents; constant "mandatory/voluntary" overtime.
Advice to Senior Management – be more sensitive to the needs of your agents, as they are the face of your company. unhappy agents will make for bad customer service. choose quality over quantity. understand that they would not ask you questions if they had not checked their resources. become more of a team with your agents.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Democratic Congressman Mike McIntyre already is facing fire from the Republican group that tried unsuccessfully to oust him in the 2012 election. The National Republican Congressional Committee announced Wednesday it is airing a new TV ad criticizing the 7th District lawmaker for his recent budget vote.
The move comes days after the NRCC-backed candidate from 2012, former state Sen. David Rouzer, said he would challenge McIntyre in 2014. The Democrat was the only to win a targeted congressional race in North Carolina last year. See the ad script below.

Mar 24, 2010
The report, Who's Winning the Clean Energy Race? (PDF), documents the dawning of a new worldwide industry—clean energy—which has experienced investment growth of 230 percent since 2005. Demonstrating its strength, the clean energy sector declined only 6.6 percent in 2009 despite the worst financial downturn in over half a century. In 2009, $162 billion was invested in clean energy around the world. Rebounding from a sharp downturn in the last quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009, clean energy investments in the G-20 averaged a robust $32 billion in each of the last three quarters of 2009. In an encouraging sign for the future, many governments prioritized clean energy within economic recovery funding, the bulk of which will reach innovators, businesses and installers in 2010 and 2011. Clean energy investments are forecast to grow by 25 percent to $200 billion in 2010.
Accounting for more than 90 percent of worldwide finance and investment, G-20 countries dominate the clean energy landscape. As the country profiles in this report demonstrate, virtually all G-20 countries have seen investments grow by more than 50 percent over the last five years.
Within the G-20, our research finds that domestic policy decisions impact the competitive positions of member countries. Those nations—such as China, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Germany and Spain—with strong, national policies aimed at reducing global warming pollution and incentivizing the use of renewable energy are establishing stronger competitive positions in the clean energy economy. Nations seeking to compete effectively for clean energy jobs and manufacturing would do well to evaluate the array of policy mechanisms that can be employed to stimulate clean energy investment. China, for example, has set ambitious targets for wind, biomass and solar energy and, for the first time, took the top spot within the G-20 and globally for overall clean energy finance and investment in 2009. The United States slipped to second place.
There are reasons to be concerned about America's competitive position in the clean energy marketplace.
Relative to the size of its economy, the United States' clean energy finance and investments lag behind many of its G-20 partners. For example, in relative terms, Spain invested five times more than the United States last year, and China, Brazil and the United Kingdom invested three times more. In all, 10 G-20 members devoted a greater percentage of gross domestic product to clean energy than the United States in 2009. Finally, the Unites States is on the verge of losing its leadership position in installed renewable energy capacity, with China surging in the last several years to a virtual tie.
The U.S. policy framework for reducing global warming pollution and promoting renewable energy remains uncertain, with comprehensive legislation stalled in Congress. On the other hand, America's entrepreneurial traditions and strengths in innovation—especially its leadership in venture capital investing—are considerable, giving it the potential to recoup leadership and market share in the future.
Policy, investment and business experts alike have noted that the clean energy economy is emerging as one of the great global economic and environmental opportunities of the 21st century. Local, state and national leaders in the United States and around the world increasingly recognize that safe, reliable, clean energy—solar, wind, bioenergy and energy efficiency—can be harnessed to create jobs and businesses, reduce dependence on foreign energy sources, enhance national security and reduce global warming pollution.
Nations seeking to compete effectively for clean energy jobs and manufacturing would do well to evaluate the array of policy mechanisms that can be employed to stimulate clean energy investment. This is especially true for policymakers in the United States, which is at risk of falling further behind its G-20 competitors in the coming years unless it adopts a strong national policy framework to spur more robust clean energy investment.

For the TCM Movie Morlocks blog this week, I grilled Elliot Lavine, one of my many online mentors in the field of film noir. Elliot, known as Dewey1960 on the TCM Message Boards, has been a kind Virgil leading me through some of the descending rings into this cinematic underworld and I was happy to see that he'd been invited to return to his old haunt in San Francisco this month. Here's the beginning of this wide-ranging conversation we had about some of the more obscure lost gems of the genre:
Asking Elliot Lavine to talk about his favorite film noirs is a little like asking a parent of many different children to describe what he loves about his babies. If you are anywhere near San Francisco in the next few weeks, you may want to hightail it over to the newly remodeled Roxie Theater in the Mission district for a chance to admire some of his neglected favorites--Elliot's nearly forgotten, "cheap, lowdown and tawdry" stepchildren, consisting of 28 rarely screened B noirs from the Poverty Row Studios. These movies will be on display from Friday, May 14th through Thursday, May 27th in a program entitled I STILL Wake Up Dreaming: Noir is Dead! / Long Live Noir! A complete list of these movies is posted at the end of this blog with links to the Roxie for times and ticket information. A few days ago, Elliot was kind enough to submit to a grilling from me about all things film noir...More on the Movie Morlocks

Luisa Beccaria
2008 September 26
Luisa Beccaria - Milan Spring 2009
View Gallery
(MILAN) When does sweet become saccharine? Luisa Beccaria toes the line, but this season was a guilty pleasure. As the audience awaited the start of the show listening to chirping crickets, Beccaria sent her son Lucino and daughter Luna (along with two others) down the runway scattering rose petals. The looks were all flowers, ruffles, transparency, and raffia, but several simple (by comparison) pieces almost stole the thunder. An asymmetrical peach satin dress was a nice antidote, while a crochet short-sleeved frock (when worn with slip, please!) would please even a curmudgeon. Those who indulge Beccaria really worship her, as evidenced by a set of teary-eyed Italians applauding grandly in the front row. But with a dress like that violet ruffle-strewn finale gown, what's not to love?

Swap Pie For Cupcakes And Cookies!
Pumpkin pie is as synonymous with Thanksgiving as turkey, pioneers and cornucopias. As delicious as a creamy slice of pumpkin pie is, sticking to the same old recipes year in and year out can be such a drag. So this year, instead of bringing the standard pie you always bring to your Grandma's Thanksgiving dinner, surprise your friends and family with these three unique, and equally delicious pumpkin desserts. You'll be shocked at how quickly they disappear and how little people will miss the boring ol' pumpkin pie!
Each of these desserts has all of the traditional flavors of pumpkin pie (like cinnamon, pumpkin puree and cumin) with other delicious ingredients too, like Greek yogurt, cream cheese and chocolate chips! Plus, each bite size pumpkin treat requires no fork or plate. And for those who are always stuck on dish duty (like I am), this fact alone makes each one necessary this year!
Pumpkin pie cupcake recipe
Don't let the name of these fool you -- they aren't your ordinary cupcakes. These mini cakes have the same ooey, gooey center as a slice of the famous pumpkin pie. The flour and sugar in the mix form a crust around the center so you get the same texture as a piece of pie. Plus, the top becomes concave while cooling, forming a perfect spot for a dollop of whipped topping!
Yields: 12 cupcakes
Low-fat pumpkin cake bars recipe
Not only is this cake absolutely delicious, it's very low in fat and calories because it's made with no added butter or oil! Serve with low-fat cream cheese frosting for a deliciously deceptive holiday dessert! You might want to double the recipe -- this pumpkin cake will go FAST!
Yields: About 16 cake bars

Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies recipe
These cookies are the most delicious chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. They are so easy and are a huge crowd favorite. My father-in-law, who hates all things pumpkin, could not stop eating these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. To make these even more decadent, drizzle with melted milk chocolate and dip in toasted almonds!
Yields: 24 cookies
Pumpkin pie, you can eat your heart out!

What Is Acai Berry?
Acai berry is a fruit that is grape-like and is cultivated in the rainforests that are located in South America from the popular acai palm trees. These berries are widely accepted as a type of super food. Those that hail these food products as such claim that these products are extremely beneficial to the health. Many claim that the berries have the ability to assist with health complications such as various forms of arthritis, excess weight on the body, high levels of cholesterol within the body, various types of arthritis, sexual dysfunction, and health-related issues that are similar in nature. In addition to this, acai berry is said to be an optimal food product when it comes to improving the health in a general manner. In this brief guide, you will learn many important facts pertaining to the acai berry. Let's explore the many health benefits of acai berries.
More than a thousand years ago, the natives of Brazil discovered that acai berries had healing properties. When consumed on a regular basis, these individuals discovered that the berries provided them with a vast amount of energy. As time progressed, the tribes in the region started utilizing the berries to treat many different types of ailments because, they found, the food products had a very high level of nutritional value. When provided to members of the tribe that were suffering from various injuries and health-related complications, those individuals seemed to recovery relatively quickly. In addition to this, the berries were used as a nutritional supplement when famine occurred. As a result, fewer tribe members experienced sickness and death. Soon, the word began to spread that acai berries were a prime choice in optimizing the health. Today, many continue to utilize the berries in order to regain health, and to boost their health.
Throughout history, acai berries have earned the nickname, "Beauty Berries". The reason that they are referred to in this manner is that they include numerous compounds that assist in making an individual feel and look absolutely terrific – both, inside the body and outside of the body. The berries contain many different types of amino acids, special fatty-based omega acids, as well as antioxidants. This rich combination of nutrients has been found to accomplish many things. First, it helps to provide a natural boost to the immune system. Second, it improves the metabolic function within the body. Third, it helps to eliminate destructive and dangerous free radicals directly from the body. Finally, it also assists in slowing the natural aging process experienced by the body.
There are numerous vitamins and a wide assortment of minerals located within acai berries. However, there are also many plant-based compounds within acai berries that are not common to any other fruit. These compounds are so unique, that a doctor at the University of Florida exclaims that there are as little as 50 or as many as 75 plant-based compounds within the berries that are yet to be completely identified. This doctor's name is Stephen Talcott. While acai berries have many substances found within other fruits, it appears that acai contains higher concentrations of these substances which is why many believe that it is so powerful when it comes to the health.
If you are interested in optimizing your health, boosting your energy levels, dropping unwanted pounds, or coping with the symptoms of various health conditions, acai berry seems to be a productive measure. As with any product, it is best to consult with a medical professional before starting any type of diet or supplement that is created using acai berry. While many tests and experiments have been conducted on patients utilizing these berries, and positive results have stemmed from those tests and experiments, this product may not be effective or appropriate for all individuals. Your health history, any medical conditions that you currently suffer from, the medications that you take, and your diet could all impact the results that you experience with acai berry. Also the Acai berry helps with anti-aging. This natural product should never be used in place of a medical treatment or medical advice provided to you by a licensed doctor; however, if you are approved to take the product, you are sure to experience numerous positive and productive outcomes .

Is the future a triumph of sound over music? Monolake's new album, Ghosts, as reviewed by Justin, seems to point in that direction.
"For me, it's all about the details and I like to work on the details and that's why it takes forever for me to release a new album."
Robert Henke might be addicted to detail, but it certainly didn't take him forever to come up with his latest record after 2009/10's Silence. Nonetheless, here he's managed to attain the usual, intimidating level of technical wizardry that we've come to expect from the father of Ableton Live himself.
Per tradition, melody and structure is eschewed for sculptures of the finest design, as he pushes home yet another proper statement on the infinite range of sounds potential to the electronic music realm. Another Monolake trademark is, of course, the use of field recordings. And while Ghosts is suitably marshalled by an army of found sounds, the album is yet distinctive in Henke's inaugural employment of these elements in manipulating rhythm and percussion - bringing to mind Tommy Four Seven's approach to his Primate long-player last year.
Such densely intricate aural environments are kneaded into short bursts of sub-six minute tracks (with the exception of 'Hitting the Surface'); a fleetingness all the more acutely felt when compared to his past oeuvre of majestic, near half-hour pieces. Unfortunately, this paring down also brings with it deficiencies beyond the temporal: gone are the once vividly atmospheric soundscapes, or tough, dynamic beat physics; now drained and draped in diluted wallpaper tones.
So what went wrong here? From being born into what he dubs a "classical background of a family of engineers", Henke has voiced doubt over his musical abilities - "I see myself as a.. lousy composer". In 2010, he told The Wire how he overcame these insecurities with the collaborative aid of Gerhard Behles and Torsten Profrock (aka T++), who were members of Monolake at different points in time, and on albums which yielded its best-loved classics.
Since Silence, and on Ghosts, Henke has operated solo, with said vulnerabilities laid bare. The result is an unwitting retreat to the comforts of his sound design roots, with precedence given to surprise surprise – the crafting of sonic detail over composition.
Sure, some will argue that the Monolake aesthetic shuns tried-and-tested nostalgia for innovation and experimentation; that it's about the reverent Robert Henke expressing himself in new ways, discovering fresh terrain, and pushing things forward. But if Ghosts represents the future, then it's a future of sound, absent the experience of music.
Henke is not wrong to believe in detail. But he's wrong if he believes that detail alone will suffice to have someone "listen to his tracks ten times" over. It's an observation he's made himself: "If you spend enough time, you can conglomerate enough detail. But you might end up (with) some highly complex IDM record which nevertheless is arbitrary. It's an arbitrary collection of amazing details." Ghosts is, then, haunted by self-fulfilling prophecy.

Plot Summary: In "Disaster Movie," the filmmaking team behind the hits "Scary Movie," "Date Movie," "Epic Movie" and "Meet the Spartans" this time puts its unique, inimitable stamp on one of the biggest and most bloated movie genres of all time � the disaster film.
"Disaster Movie" follows the comic misadventures of a group of ridiculously attractive twenty-somethings during one fateful night as they try to make their way to safety while every known natural disaster and catastrophic event - asteroids, twisters, earthquakes, the works � hits the city and their path as they try to solve a series of mysteries to end the rampant destruction.
Taking aim at everything and everyone, from "Indiana Jones" and "Iron Man" to Amy Winehouse and "High School Musical," "Disaster Movie" lampoons the blockbuster movie, pop culture icons and public figures along the way as Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer satirize everything as only they can.

Victory For The Apocalypticians?
Dystopia and apocalypse are consistently popular imaginative themes. Between Jericho and The Road, or 2012 and The World Without Us, there is a sprawling middle ground of abandoned metropolises and imagined dooms. It filters into the real world too: online we share photographs of urban decay, wandering into the abandoned corners of our cities to taste what the future might really be like without us. In the world of suits and headlines, even with the threat of global nuclear war so diminished, apocalypse remains at the forefront of policy. What of the climate, the seas, the air we breathe? The sheer numbers? Collectively, we're keen on wondering if we're at the brink. And, if we are, then we're asking: what are things going to look like?
A common interpretation of apocalypse in fiction is that it represents the author's wishes to radically change or destroy himself: by obliterating everything that makes him what he is, perhaps, he is reincarnating himself, what he has become, or what was going to be. This, I suppose, transfers to the reader. They get to imagine the inverted tyranny of deleted worlds, and their own shattered futures, too.
What does it mean, then, when the default view of the future for a large part of any given society is an apocalyptic one? Are we trying to find a way to express a need for change? We've been here before, I think. Plague and war in the Middle Ages inspired an epidemic of apocalyptic thinking, with all the attendant prophesying. There might be disaster, the Christianity-bound soothsayers argued, but heaven would follow for the believers. It might even have seemed sensible to assume the end times really were nigh. And why not? When things are crummy and the chips are down, it's fair enough to want things to change, whether that's via disaster or otherwise.
Looking around at the atmosphere in entertainment contemporary culture, the attitude of some of the people around me, and the general climate of fear created by, well, the climate, the same could be true of today. Our situation is rather different, of course, and I'm not making such claims lightly. I am not a doom-monger, nor a climate-change denier. I'm partial to a fictional apocalypse, and I'm probably part of the dystopian centre-ground: I think things need a lot of work. Still, I don't feel qualified make any real predictions. What interests me is the taste for apocalypse in entertainment culture right now. I'd noticed that taste long before I'd really connected any of the dots. My own shelf was full of end times scenarios, and they seemed like a good idea in games, too. (To balance out the elf and space marine quotas.)
It was last year's Thrilling Wonder Stories that finally made me sit up and think about this. The key moment was in the talk by science fiction writer Iain MacLeod, in which he spoke about the visions the future that he had been getting kids in schools to produce over the years. Increasingly, he reported, visions produced by children were dystopias, or even apocalypses. The visions of the future produced by contemporary schoolchildren, said MacLeod, were dark. Observably grimmer than those produced a decade, or two decades ago.
A startling thought! The trickle-down effect of what was popular in entertainment culture, and what was popular in international politics, had pooled in the imagination of children. Not for this generation of kids, the lure of the stars, or the wonders of limitless human invention. Rather, they were destined to be pessimists by default: ready to accept the decline of civilisation, or the death of the Earth, as just the prevailing narrative. They parsed the mass of sci-fi images produced by our culture, interpolated them with terrorism and eco-doom, and decided that the funny bald author guy at the front of the class wanted to see transmissions from a future dark.
Perhaps they didn't actually interpret this stuff as necessarily negative. Apocalyptic imagery is "cool" in terms of imaginative currency. It's hip and credible in a way that Dan Dare's rocketship no longer is. Nevertheless, it's a disconcerting message.
MacLeod's report is, of course, purely anecdotal. The current surge of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic themes in films, games, and fiction could be purely coincidental. But perhaps it is nevertheless irresponsible. We might be enjoying the voyeurism of utter destruction, we might be finding release in the portraits of radical change that these destructive fictions offer, but perhaps we should stop assuming it's our lifespan that matters. Perhaps we should be turning up at the cinema expecting more stories about resilience, or reports from the future where the problems are what to do with limitless energy, or Japanese consciousness multipliers, rather than dustbowls and gasmask hipsters. Authors: is that nihilism really what you want to leave behind? Your silhouette a stoop, rather than a hurrah?
I was banging on about this stuff last week and someone said to me "Yeah, you do like your retro shiny shit." And I realised that I've only recently learned to like it, because I want to rescue something from it. I want to rescue an attitude which said that the imagined future looked more like this:

Europe is steeped in a wealth of history and England is considered by many to have some of the best examples of preserved historic sites in the world. This doesn't necessarily mean Roman or medieval settlements, but there is a clear evolution of history in England, ranging from the Tudors to the Victorians, the Second World War up to the present day. So does this have a bearing on tradition? When exploring coastal England taking a traditional approach can be very rewarding. Tradition can mean many things to different people however. If you've been visiting Whitby and enjoying the night life for several years, that could be a tradition for you. To most though tradition is the family holiday, the romantic weekend, walks along the beach holding hands and enjoying Whitby in the same manner as previous generations.
A tradition for many is staying in one of the many holiday cottages in Whitby and it's not difficult to understand why. Here's a look at the benefits of choosing holiday cottages in Whitby and how they will facilitate your stay when exploring traditional coastal England.
Good Food
When we think of good food many of us think of French or Italian restaurants, fine cuisine and dining out. But when staying in holiday cottages in Whitby you are afforded a fully working kitchen, dining space and access to local delicatessens specialising in local produce. Being a coastal town Whitby continues to thrive on its traditional fishing industry and the quality of fresh fish is still exceptional.
Taking the time to explore the fish market, the local bakeries and wine stores will give you all the ingredients to prepare a delicious evening meal. Also cooking at you holiday cottage and spending time with your loved ones is certainly traditional.
Spectacular Views
It's difficult to miss the spectacular views Whitby has to offer. On arriving at Whitby's town you are met with picturesque scenes of the harbour, boat masts standing out against the contrast of sea and sky.
The traditionalists amongst us will no doubt enjoy the sandy golden beach come wind rain or shine, using a windbreaker or umbrella, refusing to let mother nature ruin the day. Holiday cottages in Whitby are commonly regarded as the best way to see these views as they can be hired in so many locations, both remote and central to the town, giving you the freedom to explore .
No matter what your interpretation of exploring traditional coastal England is staying in holiday cottages in Whitby is an essential.

Moon Dance
Georgia Enright has dedicated her life to dance. But at age twenty-six, her dreams of becoming a lead dancer are fleeting. Having missed college and the sweet moments of ordinary life, she ventures to Pumpkin Hill, an old farm owned by her newly found half-sister, Laura Bishop, to contemplate her future. There, discovering an affinity for the simple pleasures of country life and a barn just perfect for giving dance lessons, Georgia enjoys in oasis of peace...until Matthew Bishop shows up.
An abandoned child taken in by the same loving parents who had adopted Laura, Matt Bishop has plans of his own for that empty old barn at Pumpkin Hill -- plans that include a veterinary clinic, not a ballet studio! The onlything the rugged doctor resents more than Laura's interest in her birth family the Enrights, is having to share the premises with one. Yet despite himself, he can't deny there's something special about the graceful, blonde Enright who has brightened his world -- and if he's not careful, she just may find a way to dance into his heart.

Georgia nimbly leaned over to tie first her left, then her right running shoe before standing and stretching from side to side to limber up. Though in top athletic form after nine years of dancing professionally, she still performed an exacting ritual before setting out on her daily run. Side-to-side stretches forward lunges, jumping jacks, leg lifts. Twenty of each. Her warm-up completed, she left her sixth-floor condo, locked the door securely behind her, tucked the key into the pocket of her dark green hooded sweatshirt, and set off for the ground floor. On foot.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is a rare disease in which a type of protein builds up in the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs, making breathing difficult.
Alveolar proteinosis; Pulmonary alveolar phospholipoproteinosis
In some cases, the cause of pulmonary alveolar proteinosis is unknown. In others, it occurs with lung infection or an immune problem. It also can occur with cancers of the blood system, and after exposure to high levels of environmental substances, such as silica or aluminum dust.
This rare disorder generally affects people ages 30 to 50 and is seen in men more often than in women. A form of the disorder is present at birth (congenital).
There may be no symptoms.
The doctor may hear crackles ("rales") in the lungs. Often, the physical examination is normal.
The following tests may be done:
Treatment involves washing out the protein substance from the lung (whole-lung lavage) from time to time. Certain patients with this disease may need to have a lung transplant. Avoidance of dusts that might have caused the condition is also recommended.
Research has shown some benefit to an experimental treatment that uses a blood-stimulating medication called granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which is known to be lacking in some patients with alveolar proteinosis.
Some people with this condition go into remission. Others have respiratory failure that gets worse, and they may need a lung transplant. Up to 25% of people with this condition die within 5 years of being diagnosed.
Call your health care provider if you develop serious breathing symptoms. Shortness of breath that gets worse over time may signal that your condition is developing into a more serious medical emergency.

2010 was generally a good hay production year. We had a good growing season with timely rains. The kind of environment we had last summer allows for good harvest conditions. But then came September and a lot of wet weather. Many of our round bales that were stored outside without a lot of cover ended up with excessive rain that maybe left at least the bottom part of the bales standing in water and with the onset of very cold weather in November saw many of the bales frozen to the ground.
So where does this leave us for the rest of the winter? When harvesting hay it is not always easy to control weather related losses. But we can control storage losses by utilizing or investing in covered storage. As you drive around the countryside, you can see round hay bales standing outside and they have been covered by snow for a long time. Is this a big deal? In a word "yes". Here's a comparison on the effect of storage method on storage dry-matter losses. This information came from the University of Wisconsin's Forage website.
Storage Method% of Dry Matter Loss
Under Roofunder 10%
Plastic wrap-on ground5%
Covered on pad or elevated12-17%
Uncovered on pad or elevated20-46%
Covered on ground23-46%
Uncovered on ground45-61%
Check that last number 61 percent potential dry matter loss! Basically this hay has turned to manure. To put storage losses in perspective, let's assume that you store your hay outside and have a fairly reasonable storage loss of 10 percent. That may not sound all that bad, but a 10 percent storage loss means that for every 10 bales of hay that you harvest, you really only have the equivalent of 9 bales of hay to feed. Do the math on the 61 percent storage loss and you can see that you have lost over half of the feed value that you worked so hard and invested so much money into making the hay. It makes an investment into good hay storage seem cheap in comparison.
Dry matter loss is a function of hay moisture, temperature, and the length of time hay is exposed to these conditions. Large losses can occur in a short time frame under high moisture and temperature conditions. However, you can end up with similar losses by storing dry hay in a cool barn for an extended period of time. The message here is to invest in some sort of covered storage or method of covering your bales to insure that what you harvested last summer with still be there when you come to feed it or sell it later on this winter or next spring. Feeding quality falls off fast when we have bales standing in water or covered with snow and then subjected to fluctuating moisture levels when the snow melts in the spring. The same goes for harvested bedding material such as cornstalks or baled straw. What you harvested last fall will not be there when you want to use it or sell it if it is not properly stored in a cool dry place.
Another question that comes across my desk is the comparison between round and rectangular (big square) bales. This question was addressed as part of a study by the University of Minnesota. This study showed few differences in storage losses between round and rectangular bales stored uncovered on bare soil, over an eight month period. Both types of bales lost about 23 percent of the total volume of the bottom bales due to re-wetting. Round bales at the top of the pile did shed water better, but the study showed that the water simply ran off the upper bales onto the lower bales causing similar damage.
